Dundee → Sunderland trip in a license-free car

The trip between Dundee (Scotland) and Sunderland (England) is about 329 km. In a license-free car, as on a 50cc scooter or moped, on suitable roads (secondary and main roads away from expressways), allow roughly 7h 42min of travel at 45 km/h.

This trip links the Dundee City area (DND) to the Tyne and Wear area (TW). The roads between these two towns mostly follow secondary and main roads, well suited to driving a license-free car. Expressways and motorways, which are off-limits to license-free cars, are automatically left out of the route.

Dundee has a Low Emission Zone (LEZ), which makes electric license-free cars even more useful for driving around without restrictions.

Heads up: standard GPS apps like Waze or Google Maps are not suited to license-free cars. They can send you onto expressways, motorways or ring roads that are banned for light quadricycles, putting your safety at risk. A dedicated GPS like TacTac filters out these roads automatically and only offers routes that match your vehicle.
